I thought I left, long recallI wanted to ask youYou use to hug and there was no feeling beyond thatDo you remember back in the daysWe use to laugh &amp; play all night longAnd if you do (If you do)Tell me (Tell me) how long, how long

{ChorusHow long do you need time awayHopefully not longYou'll stay awayAnd I pray that everything's okayTell me I wanna know how longHow long will youYou'll be away

Now it hurts me soThinking about herAt night my bed is cold

And lonely without herCan't explain what heaven knowsI'm crazy about herIf she come back she don't knowI said she really really don't knowSo please my lady, just how long{Chorus

You'll be away[Ad libs throughout]I miss you so (I miss you so)I miss you so (I miss you so)I miss you so (I miss you so)I miss you so (I miss you so)Coming back somedayComing back somedayComing back somedayComing back onedayComing back onedayComing back oneday{Chorus
